Copy/Share Student Groups to Another User

In the Student Groups Widget, a group can be copied/shared and pushed to another user or user group. The Copy/Share feature allows the group creator to duplicate a Smart or Static group to share with another user.

Once copied/shared, the groups operate as two separate groups without interaction. Either group can be renamed and/or modified by the creator or receiving user without changing the original group. 

The receiving user will only have access to those students who are within his/her permission set. For example: A district administrator makes a group with all 4^th graders in a district and copies it to each 4^th grade teacher. Each individual teacher's group will only show those students in the group who are assigned to him/her in the Student Information System (SIS) and not all students in the district administrator's original copied group.  

Copy: The recipient(s) will have their own copy of the group that they may edit/delete that does not impact the originator's copy.

Share: The recipients will have a shared group that if edited/deleted will impact the originator's group.

How to Copy/Share a Student Group

1. In the Student Groups widget, select the My Student Groups Tab. Choose the group to share from the My Student Groups List. 

2. Once selected, on the right side of the widget, choose the Actions button. In the drop down, choose Copy/Share Group to other Users. 

3. There are two options for copying a group:

         Groups can be copied to all roles within a school or schools based on their Homeroom Permissions.

       Groups can be copied to a list of specific user/s chosen by the group creator

4. Once copied, the duplicate group will show up the next time the receiving user logs into Homeroom.
